As I am finishing up the binding on my nephew's eagle quilt, his sister has been talking more about her graduation quilt! My Magpie will be graduating in December and she's really excited about her quilt. I'm going to use this pattern, Goose Chase by Mark Lipinski. This was published in Quilty magazine (July/August 2013). Magpie has always liked flying geese blocks so this is the perfect quilt for her.
We went shopping yesterday (Labor Day sales) and bought seven or eight different turquoise fabrics. I'll sub turquoise for the black and red for the pink. She also asked that I use a white on white text fabric instead of flat white. Boy, that girl really knows what she wants!
Made the last Thirties block for my 2018 Ramona baskets. I'm nearly out of my favorite Kona Snow so I will have to wait to finish until I can order some. I looked at the setting Ramona provided for the Civil War fabrics and will at least do the setting triangles and border. Isn't this a sweet block? I just love Thirties.
And here is the first block for Goose Chase. I wanted to see how the red looked with the turquoise. I hope Magpie likes this quilt when I am finished! I like to include a little "joke" fabric when I make a quilt. Can you see it? One little flying goose made of turquoise 30's!!
